Real Madrid's Kaka: England Boss Fabio Capello Should Take David Beckham To The World Cup

Brazilian hails "intelligent" Becks...

England midfielder David Beckham is all smiles as he answers questions from the media
Real Madrid star Kaka believes that England boss Fabio Capello would do well to take David Beckham to the World Cup next year.

Although the Englishman played a part in the qualifying stage, he is currently not an automatic selection in the 23-man squad that will travel to South Africa.

The Brazilian - who plied his trade alongside Beckham at Milan last term - explained that the "experience and quality" that the ageing midfielder brings to the table warrant a place in the final few who will make Capello's cut.

"David Beckham is one of the most intelligent players I have ever played alongside," Kaka is quoted by Sporting Life as saying.

"I am pleased he is going back to Milan, even though I am no longer there.

"I see that as a great move by Milan to take him again because he will be important to them, as he showed last season.

"But Milan will also be important to him with the World Cup coming up.

"Through playing in Milan in Serie A and Europe, David will be in the right condition next summer, and that is certain to help England at the World Cup.

"That's why Capello must include David in his squad. There is no-one else who has the experience and quality of Beckham."
